i am from South Africa and currently have a serisssa or snow rose, however it has dried out and lost all its leaves, i have been watering it and have cut back all the dry leaves and branches, we are currently going into spring and the plant is still alive. any tips on how i could restore the foilage and have it looking healthy again?

Serrisa have a reputation for being difficult, I think we might worry them to death. They respond to the same things as other plants, pay attention to not over or under water, use a meat skewer in the soil, wet wood don't water, dry wood water. Explain where you are keeping the plant, how you are watering, etc.

I am currently using a wooden scewer to check the soil before watering. Ive been constantly misting the area's which ive cut back, is that fine? ive got the tree on a Patio area which is north facing and generally warm however i do not allow direct sunlight to hit the tree since the afternoon sun is pretty harsh and i dont think a serissa is suited for such. is there anything else i could possibly do? Thank you for your feedback thus far:)

all of my serissas are grown in full sun. They like a freely draining soil and when happy, a very weak [ 1/3 strength ] fertilizer once a week added into moist soil.I allow them to flower for 1 month and then cut back beyond the flowering mass.
